    Hi All

    I've just changed the 2019 div 4 league to the 2020 Div 3 league. It means most of you are already in there. Log in and make sure you see it.

    If you aren't in there already, follow this - https://boards32020.league.fantasy.nfl.com/ or send me your e mail and I'll invite you. Can you all try get to it in the next couple of days so I'm sure we have 16.

    At the moment it looks like the draft will be Sunday 6th.

    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09

    I still have a couple outstanding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    So, just waiting on OneCoolCookie to accept his invite. Also waiting on a mail from Garco (Steelcox).


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭Garco

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    Well, we've everyone in.

    Can you all take a look and make sure you're in the right league - just double check :)

    Draft is set for 9pm on Sunday!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    I've my own draft that day two but can jump back and forth between them so no problem. Haven't looked a tap yet on any players this season!

    Thanks for organising, fair play. Just wondering if you had an idea of when we will know the draft order. Cheers.

    Normally just the generated one on the night iirc. Think it's a hour before the draft start time

    Normally appears when you can enter the draft room

    Yeah - it is randomly selected 30 mins before the draft.

    I can choose manually if you want? All bribes to be sent by revolut....

    Thanks Mooreman, the last few years on here we have normally done a manual draft order a few days beforehand, especially when it's on a weekend, gives everyone a bit of prep time.

    No, they've changed all that - the settings they give us now are random.

    I'd say there was murder about the manual orders!

    I'd be happy to go with manual draft order. Always helpful to know where you are a bit in advance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Chestylerue


    Sorry what I mean by Manuel, is that the draft order is randomly set a couple of days in advance by the commissioner and then it gives the lads a bit of time to do a bit of planning, that's all.

    If a random order can be set in advance that would be great. I'm not sure how you can prove it was random maybe that's what led to the 30 minutes before draft idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    I'd do that if I could but only options are a manual draft - meaning I choose - or the current setting of 30 mins pre draft..

    No problem, guess I'll do a bunch of different mocks then!

    I'm happy this way too, gives a slight better game plan. If commish puts all teams in random.com or the likes and posts it here can't see too many complaints?



    Is is a tiny bit of extra work to pop in draft order so no prob if they don't want to do that!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭Garco


    So is anyone like me, done no prep and just gonna wing it!! 30 mins might work out for people like me.. that been said ill prob take someone that got cut this week

    Looking forward to it!

    Absolutely, I never do any serious strategy. I try to put the best team together I can from what's available and let the gods do their work after that.

    Guys just checked app... Have you included me? I'm div 2 but I see div 3 there also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Anyone know if you can draft on the Android App. I usually do it on the PC but not arsed moving at the moment.

    Could be an old Div 3 - This league was originally D4 - so unless you joined into this in the last week I think we are good...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭L.S.F


    Apologies for my disappearance after a few rounds last night, my mate txt me seeing if I could set up our league on clicky draft instead of him at 9pm so was trying to sort that and make sure everyone was in. Phone wasn't alearting me on my picks unless the app was open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,096 ✭✭✭Jofspring


    I wouldn't worry about it LSF. It still went pretty quick. Hope you didn't get screwed on picks.

    Following last year's NFL prediction of 0-16 this year's one has me at 2-11, 15th place finish but says my shrewed picks will have me on contention. Baffling to say the least.

    I’m predicted for 4-10 record and 10th place finish. Wasn’t impressed with my running backs which is fairly fair assessment

    I got 12-1 and a first place prediction...

    Should we wrap it all up now??? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭McG


    4-9 projected for me... though in my main league last year I was projected to come last and won while the person projected to win came dead last.

    This is very true I got a 10-3 prediction which worries me as anytime I'm told I'll do well I normally fall flat on my face!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    My strategy was pretty clear this year but a few of my picks got nabbed early.

    Pick all the Bucs.

    Godwin went much earlier than I expected and Evans and Fournette were snatched a little earlier than expected.

    Had to reach a bit on Brady, Gronk and Scotty Millar after that. A shame. Left OJ Howard after me as well because I'd be in trouble on my Bye week otherwise.

    Got a few solid starters after the few I chose so happy there, it drafted 2 D's but got Jeffery off Waivers just there.



    Got a B+ on the draft ranking with 9-4 and 4th place. (exact same record and grade as my other draft too). These don't hold much meaning but are always good to read in the lead up to the first game week.

    Anyone want to trade me a RB? I've willing to part with Ertz


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    FYI

    Due to one of the games this week being scheduled for Tuesday night the NFL.com fantasy waivers are processing one day later than usual.

    As our waiver period is set to 2 days that would mean waivers not processing until Thursday night (and thus missing Thursday night Football).

    Can you go into league settings and change the Waiver period to 1 day.

    This will mean waivers will process Wednesday this week and Tuesday on all other weeks.

    Are you sure on that? Can't find the NFL rules but for ESPN they are pushing back waivers if they are on Tues night but Weds night waivers are being left as they are normally. Seems stupid from NFL to go that route but wouldn't be surprising.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    Our league is shaping up to be incredibly tight. Half the league might be on 4-4 after this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,096 ✭✭✭Jofspring


    There seems to be so many injuries to key players that has blown it wide open. Everyone just hoping to get a gem off a wavier which is few and far between at the moment.

    I started up going 0-4 the first few weeks despite being one of the top scorers so feared the fantasy gods were against me. Season has been resurrected and hopefully will be in that 4-4 group now with a push for the playoffs.

    Yeah, you are on a nice streak. I'm going well now too, getting Adams back fit was what I needed!!

    Our division is strong. All teams will be at 4-4 or better after this week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 126 ✭✭Garco


    Having a nightmare in this league this year.. used all my luck the last few years!! Every week I think im gonna do class... then computer says NO

    Any trades going?

    Looks like he done enough, you are going to pip me by about 15pts scored more over season. Definitely the most competitive fantasy season I have played in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭mooreman09


    Great regular season. I missed out on the playoffs despite having a decent side. 7-6 and last in my division. Well done to the three others!

    How do people feel about the divisions and top teams going in, rather than the 6 best teams?

    Agree, this was an extremely competitive league this year.

    I was on the other side of the Allen vs Big Ben game and believed Fantasy Football was going to be a cruel mistress and have me miss out on the playoffs at 7-6 and 2nd highest overall points scored but I managed to sneak in.

    I'd be in agreement regarding the 6 best teams going through. I understand division winners automatically going through to build up rivalry if they were the same every year, but not in our case when the divisions and leagues flip.


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭Blue Shamrock


    Even though I would have made the playoffs if it was just on highest score this year, I like the division winners getting thru. I know it brings another bit of luck into it but helps make it different from other fantasy games for me.
